The IRS has reportedly removed the entire investigative team involved in the tax fraud probe of Hunter Biden.
- Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, is under scrutiny for potentially not paying taxes on millions in foreign-sourced income.
The purge allegedly was done on the orders of the Justice Department, the attorneys of the IRS whistleblower informed congressional leaders in a letter.
- The whistleblower recently came forward to Congress to expose an alleged cover-up in the Hunter Biden case.
- The lawyers contend that the removal of the investigative team is a retaliatory act that could obstruct a congressional inquiry.
This development comes amidst a series of related events:
- A report on bias in the FBI’s investigation of former President Trump’s alleged links to Russia was released around the same time.
- Allegations of preferential treatment in the Hunter Biden case and possible false testimony have been raised.
- House Republicans are also investigating President Biden’s role in his family’s overseas business dealings.
